How to make faceless YouTube Shorts with AI

Step by step

1. 1

   Choose a niche you can sustain

   Pick a topic with endless ideas and an audience that binges: history, science facts, scary stories, motivation, money tips.

2. 2

   Define a recognisable format

   Same art style, same voice, similar length and a signature opening line. Viewers should recognise your Short before they see your name.

3. 3

   Write 20 specific ideas

   "The man who survived two atomic bombs" beats "World War II facts". Specific angles make better hooks.

4. 4

   Generate the Shorts

   In ShortsMachine, choose 9:16, 30–60 seconds, your style and voice, and generate. Videos render in the background.

5. 5

   Review before posting

   Watch every video, check facts, and regenerate any that fall flat.

6. 6

   Post on a schedule

   One to three Shorts a day, at consistent times. Track which hooks hold viewers and do more of those.

Hooks that work

• A surprising claim: "This fish can walk on land."
• A question with a stake: "Why did this ship vanish with 300 people?"
• A countdown promise: "Three things your phone does that you never noticed."
• Starting at the climax and rewinding: "He had 10 seconds left. Here is how he got there."

Mistakes to avoid

• Copying other channels’ scripts — originality matters for growth and monetisation.
• Changing style every video, which stops people recognising you.
• Unverified "facts". One wrong claim in the comments can sink trust.
• Realistic AI depictions of real people.
